"I'm probably pretty boring to watch a game with because I''m all about expected values. I don''t even care if it goes in or not, I'm all about, '‘Should it go in?'' I can live with randomness. I mean, if it''s a close game in the end, yeah, I''m just like anyone else. But I just want us to play the odds all the time."

I would have preferred we waited for him to hit RFA(With the depth of the PG position around the NBA), but if it is 4/41, I think we can live with that. Its still a gamble though.

A little more than he has necessarily shown so far, but not bad by any stretch of the imagination. What kind of cap situation does this put them in for next summer? Will we still have money or will it just be try to max Bynum and done?

It would've been better if it were more in the 4/36 or around what Taj Gibson got, but glad they locked him up.

Well, the official report is that it is 4 years for 41 million with 5 million in possible incentive's.

We are now tied to Jrue and he needs to perform. If we would have waited we could have had our answer on what to pay him or not to pay him, but now we need him to be the answer. This isn't the worse contract, but last year's performance from Jrue won't cut it from now on. I'm rooting for him and hopeful.

But I guess if Jrue reaches his potential it could be worth it.

Don't forget JRich for 3 more years!

Agree with this concern completely. That's a lot of money to put into two guys (Thad especially because he's not really a game changer post-season wise), and Jrue still has to play up to that contract. We'll see what the future and the summer holds because a lot of guys are only on 1 or 2 year deals.
